Tallest Filipino Basketball Players Ever....

[Lebron23]

i watched it live and Horry is taller than Asi and Wilkins is shorter than Asi..

Asi Taulava is probably 6'7". I am also surprised that Jay R Reyes looks like a legit 6'7".

san diego and lacson doesn't have the genes to become players. they were just forced to play the game owing to their extraordinary height. i've seen these guys play and they are worst than what you can imagine. i was even telling God why he gave that height to san diego and lacson and not me? if, i just have the same height of two? i for sure the first pinoy if not the first asian to the NBA.

Yeah right!, btw, what's your name again?

As stated in the article:

While his height makes strangers wonder if he's an athlete, the truth is, his height actually holds him back as it comes with serious health problems, including enlarged joints and unusual blood counts. He already has arthritis.

"I can't run anymore," Adams said in the story. "I can't be active like I used to."

Poor kid......

The year was 1987, never knew this before or not sure if this was ever discussed on basketball forums, a 6"9' filipino player in the 1980s, long before Marlou Aquino and EJ Feihl came,

A 6-foot-9 muslim boy Ashjong Jala, a Tausog discovered by a former agent of the Elizalde group in Davao, if the Elizalde group's program to develop him into a basketball player is successful, he would be directed towards the national team, what happen to him.

Read about this at the time... and from what I can recollect best, I think he actually was reed thin upon physicals... and was too slow to pick up the basics for his play to be of any relevance. Again from memory and account of a buddy of mine, an equally stringent fan faithful of Crispa and Tanduay back in the day... " Asjong", reluctantly did set foot in Manila but except for a few gigs at Gala Theatre and Eat Bulaga where he was introduced as the tallest Pinoy at the time, he was of no other consequence whatsoever in the scheme of things, never mind cracking the Tanduay lineup.

Brings to mind the fate of the 7'7" Argentine, Jorge Gonzalez, or "El Gigante" where he was initially brought from the boondocks to the world of glitter on a basketball sponsorship only to end up instead, signing for a WWF career!
